Narration Supposing Books Everland (Everland #1)
The only way to grow up is to survive. London has been destroyed in a blitz of bombs and disease. The only ones who have survived the destruction and the outbreak of a deadly virus are children, among them sixteen-year-old Gwen Darling and her younger siblings, Joanna and Mikey. They spend their nights scavenging and their days avoiding the deadly Marauders—the German army led by the cutthroat Captain Hanz Otto Oswald Kretschmer. Unsure if the virus has spread past England’s borders but desperate to leave, Captain Hook is on the hunt for a cure, which he thinks can be found in one of the surviving children. He and his Marauders stalk the streets snatching children for experimentation. None ever return. Until one day when they grab Joanna. Gwen will stop at nothing to get her sister back, but as she sets out, she crosses paths with a daredevil named Pete. Pete offers the assistance of his gang of Lost Boys and the fierce sharpshooter Bella, who have all been living in a city hidden underground. But in a place where help has a steep price and every promise is bound by blood, it might cost Gwen more than she bargained for. And are Gwen, Pete, the Lost Boys, and Bella enough to outsmart the ruthless Captain Hook?

"Dreams do come true, if only we wish hard enough. You can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it." J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan3.5 rounded up to 4 for a good concept and an interesting ending. In this Peter Pan-meets-steampunk-Mad-Max, Everland is a new twist on the original fairytale. As with the prototype, Pete is our hero; a cocky bit of fun with all manner of tricks up his sleeve. His sidekick, Bella, the Tinkerbelle of this yarn, adds a bit of pre-teen lovelorn angstI actually finished this the other day, but for some reason my goodreads kept tweaking out whenever I would go to mark as finished. SO anyways, this was a fun book! It didn't necessarily WOW me, hence the 4 stars but I still very much enjoyed it. I loved the steampunk theme to it, and the plot is pretty creative. For all you retelling junkies out there, read this!
Review to come peeps xo
I enjoyed this both more than I expected but also for different reasons that I thought I would. I went into the story expecting the steampunk but not quite ready for the dystopian edge to the story. I found the first couple chapters didnt really pull me in and if it hadnt been for the fact I had to write discussion questions for later in the book, I might not have pressed on. I am glad I did though as I began to find myself more and more intrigued. I really quite liked the way the author spun
Wow....Frankly speaking...I never enjoy Peter Pan and I never thought that I'll read any of it's retelling...until now...WOW!Congrats and thank you to the author for this magnificient book!
3.5 ⭐ Peter Pan is my favorite fairy tale but retelling are not usually interesting to me but her name is Wendy so i thought it was a sign. I really enjoyed the twist she brought to Neverland and the lost boys. I liked that she brought wonderland into this book with Hook doing the Bloodred Queens dirty work. It had new aspects to neverland and the lost boys, yet it stayed familiar/similar to the original
After reading the two latest Owlcrate-books, and really liking them, I had some hope for this one. Not only had I ''learned'' that owlcrate books were easily read and intriguing, but this one was a steampunk book. I love a good steampunk book. When I also opened it, and realised it was a retelling of Peter Pan, I was overjoyed, seeing how I'd just - the same day - finished listening to the original Peter Pan story. But it did not live up to the expectations... I was intrigued at the beginning.
